[CQ-Contest] CQ WW WPX SSB Contest HF RX Prop Fcst

Fri Mar 25 06:05:06 PDT 2011

Hi Trent if the solar, space and geomagnetic weather behaves, as it should, we should see the best HF radiowave propagation conditions for the CQ WW WPX SSB Contest in many many years.

        Last night on 80M we were working QRP SSB stations in North America...looks like it will be a great contest if conditions hold..

          CQ WW WPX SSB Contest
          Valid 0000 UTC Saturday March 26, 2011 through 2359 UTC Sunday March 27, 
          2011.

          For a more in depth HF/6M frequency radiowave propagation go to section #3b 
          and #4 of the NZ4O HF/6M Radiowave Propagation Forecast at 
          http://www.solarcycle24.org  .

          Note! This forecast is based upon quiet solar, space and geomagnetic weather 
          conditions. Geomagnetic storming and energetic proton storms >10 MeV (10+0) 
          can at times render the forecast inaccurate.

          FORECASTED GLOBAL HF CONDITIONS-
          Low Latitude- Normal
          Mid Latitude- Normal
          High Latitude- Normal

          NORTHERN HEMISPHERE 80, 40, 20, 15 METERS-
          East -> West To 2000 Mi/3200 km- Good
          West -> East To 2000 Mi/3200 km- Good
          North -> South To 2000 Mi/3200 km- Good
          South -> North To 2000 Mi/3200 km- Good

          HF propagation conditions at greater than of 2000 mi/3200 km in the northern
          hemisphere will be good on 80, 40, 20, 15 meters, fair on 10 meters.

          HF propagation conditions at greater than 2000 mi/3200 km in the southern
          hemisphere will be good on 80, 40, 20, 15 meters, fair on 10 meters.
